Based on the theory of target curve, a method of improving flatness target curve is proposed. The transverse temperature distributions of strip are measured and described with a biquadratic expression, and the statistics method is used to analyze the temperature distributions. Finally, the additional temperature stress compensation is calculated to improve the strip shape.

We describe an integrated tension controller design for a tandem cold rolling mill in steel plants. To achieve stable rolling and ensure strip quality, it is very important to control the tension of the cold rolling mill. Previous researches examined only the operation of a single stand. But it is not sufficient to examine the operation and effect of whole stands because the operation is wholly interdependent. To solve the problem, this paper proposes an integrated control strategy for tension control of tandem cold mill, the full stand model for the tension system of a tandem cold mill is built, and the interaction of all the stands is analyzed. Then applying the method of μ-synthesis design a integrated robust tension controller. Simulation with the practical data proves the integrated robust tension controller can achieve more robust performance than that of typical industrial approach.

Tandem Cold Rolling

In order to improve the cold rolled steel strip flatness, the load distribution of the tandem cold rolling process is subject to investigation and optimization. The strip deformation resistance model is corrected by an artificial neural network that is trained with the actual measured data of 4500 strip coils. Based on the model, a flatness prediction model of strip steel is established in a five-stand tandem cold rolling mill, and the precision of the flatness prediction model is verified by rolling experiment data. To analyze the effect of load distribution on flatness, the flatness of stand 4 is calculated to be 7.4 IU, 10.6 IU, and 16.8 IU under three typical load distribution modes. A genetic algorithm based on the excellent flatness is proposed to optimize the load distribution further. In the genetic algorithm, the classification of flatness of stand 4 calculated by the developed flatness prediction model is taken as the fitness function, with the optimal reduction of 28.6%, 34.6%, 27.3%, and 18.6% proposed for stands 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The optimal solution is applied to a 1740 mm tandem cold rolling mill, which reduce the flatness classification from 10.8 IU to 3.2 IU for a 1-mm thick steel strip.

Edge Drop

Edge drop is an important quality evaluating index for strip cross-section with the increasing of requirement for higher gauge accuracy to meet customer's demand. The mathematical model of roll shifting system plays an important role in controlling the edge drop on modern tandem cold rolling mills. Based on the explicit dynamic finite element method, a 3D finite element simulation model of rolls and strip is established for a large ultra-wide 6-high cold rolling mill with the developed EDW (edge drop control work roll) and the matched CVC intermediate roll to investigate the effect of work roll shift on edge drop of strip. Considering on the characteristics of EDW work rolls, equivalent area compensated method has been put forward to build the shifting model for edge drop control. The results indicated that the values of edge drop are less than 7μm by using the proper shifting model and the shifting model can be used to guide the practical production.

First Pass

In a tandem cold-rolling mill, a strip is successively reduced in gauge at each stand as it passes through the mill. The optimal scheduling of a tandem mill is an important but difficult task. In this work, a scheduling problem is considered as an optimization problem which minimizes the total specific power and satisfies certain constraints. Since the material properties and friction coefficient are not known precisely, they are treated as fuzzy numbers. The fuzzy set theory is applied to find out an optimum drafting pattern. The methodology is illustrated by means of a few examples. It is observed that the schedule in which the maximum reduction is achieved in the first pass results in minimum specific power; however, its reliability is poor. Optimization using fuzzy set theory provides a solution which meets the twin requirements of high reliability and minimum power. [S1087-1357(00)00902-3]
